Perl in C Part 1
Perl, which is an extremely flexible and fluid language, in itself written in C, and as such it is easy to incorporate it into your own programs. This is not always necessary for most programs, as it is easy to call a Perl program in its own process by using popen.

Is Sugar 6 CRM Open Source?
SugarCRM's recent launch of Sugar 6 CRM raised the thorny "but is it open source" question yet again.

Current and prospective SugarCRM customers would do well to heed the lessons from the current predicament OpenSolaris users find themselves in and make the product selection based on your business needs, and not aspects such as access to the source code and size of the user community.
